Thank you lazy buddy for the link. I live about 45 min away from MIT/Harvard area (West of Boston), it might even take an hour. Driving is not a problem, but parking is tough. As jwu mentioned in the link, I need to know someone in MIT to let me in.

sorry didn't catch this thread until now. Yeah that list needs to be updated and well, most places here with the exception of Maugus don't require you to know someone. which means you can just pay a door fee and walk in to play. someone have told me that even in maugus ppl have snuck in paying the $7 guest fee and get to play there, not so sure about that, haven't try it.

um there's no parking problem w/ MIT or harvard since both of them have parking lots that you can use and they usually have plenty of spaces.

hey fizk, if you ever wanna try one of these places, let me know and we'll meet up and go together or something.

Bedford and Needham are closed for summer.
Marlborough and Acton are waste of time because they only give lessons and may be 1 hr of play.
MIT and Harvard are good, but you must know someone there, I'm hoping to go with jwu next week.
Duxbury, Hamilton are too far for me.

Special at Maugus club (which is open 24/7), $200 for 3 months if you are above 25 or $150 if you are below 25.

Mapquest
Ignore turns 11 and 12. (Mapquest insists on putting in a couple of un-necessary turns right at the end.) The entrance to the parking lot is at the three way intersection of Layfayette / Pleasant / Humphrey.

A little further north

I was searching for someone to play badminton with and ran across this site. I live in Newton NH, just north of Haverhill MA. I have an outdoor grass court and would like to find some people that would enjoy a friendly but competetive game just about any day before dark (as the wind dies down), 6 or 7 o'clock.

well. i have tried almost every website and no luck finding a good place to play. anyhow if any of u are members of mit or harvard club. i wouldn't mind joining you guys for some fun. email me if anybody is interested.

Boston University badminton

Hi,

I've been living in Boston for several months now. I want to be able to play badminton at least once a week. Does anyone know if when badminton season in BU starts and ends? I'm not quite sure if it's January. How much for a season? Does anyone who played have a contact number?

I haven't played in a while but maybe there's sommeone who would like to invite me to play with their group.

tighti,
there used to be an annual Boston Open for badminton. I'm not sure if there is going to be one this year though..
